“Maddox.” I swat him playfully on the chest, squealing with shock, mock outrage and a whole lot of happiness. “We’re in my office.”
“So?” He winks, looking sexier than any man has ever done in the history of mankind. “I plan on doing a lot of filthy things to you in this office, baby.”
My insides turn to jelly. “Such as? I need specifics.”
He runs his nose over my hair, inhaling deeply, like he’s trying to drink me in. “Such as eating your perfect pussy while you’re lying on your desk. Or maybe I’ll kneel at your feet and do it while you’re on a work call.”
Oh, daddy. Yes, please. I’m already tingling at the very thought. “And?”
“Definitely going to bend you over your desk and fuck you, real hard. I mean, I believe that’s the standard for office sex,” he growls.
“Standard doesn’t really seem like your vibe though,” I tease. I’m playing hard to get, of course. I’d let him bend me over this desk right now.
He nips playfully at my jaw. “Oh, you want me to be a little more creative, Ellie? Okay. How about I pin you up against that big window there and fuck you from behind while the city carries on around us? Press you up against that glass and make you scream?”
The image alone has me aching and needy. The intense look in his eyes isn’t helping me stay upright, either. “I’m not sure your brothers would approve of us doing that.”
“My brothers wouldn’t give a flying fuck. Besides, nobody would know. The windows on this floor are one way glass, Ellie. You can’t see in from the outside.”
“I did not know that. But what if people heard us?”
He squeezes my ass and gives me a look that makes me clench inside. “I’d find some way to keep you quiet, baby. Some way you’d enjoy.”
I shiver, already imagining the ways that Maddox could keep me quiet, and every single one of them makes my toes curl. I want to try every single bad thing in the known world of sex with this man. No taboos, no holds barred.Everything.
He grins like he knows exactly what I’m thinking. “There she is. My dirty little Goddess. Now, soup.”
I stare at him in confusion for a moment.
Oh, right.Soup. I watch him, transfixed as he sets my desk for our lunch. He really does light up when food is involved. The look of busy contentment on his face is frankly adorable. By the time he’s finished, there is an absolute feast laid out for me. The soupis homemade curried lamb with rice and beans, more like a stew. He serves it with home-baked bread rolls and, he tells me, handmade black pepper butter.
Yes, he made his own butter. Who even does that? My man does, I guess.
The smell alone has my mouth watering and my stomach growling. His face is beaming as he takes a seat opposite, watching as I take my first spoonful, blowing on the piping hot liquid first. And holy mother of all the goddesses, it is divine—an explosion of flavor and color. Can a person even taste color? I would have said no before, but this is all warm oranges and deeprustic browns. Rich, tangy tomato coats my tongue before the heat of the spice bites.
I swallow the curried lamb and actually moan. “Maddox, this is delicious.”
His beaming smile grows even wider. “You like it?”
“Love it.”
“Good.” He nods. “Food is my love language. Talking about it. Making it. Eating it. Especially eating.”
The way he says eating, like he’s no longer talking about actual food, has my cheeks flushing pink. “You are an exceptional eater.”
He arches an eyebrow. “Well, your soup is the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted in my whole fucking life, El.”
The heat from my cheeks races down my neck. “Will you please stop calling it that?” I whisper.
He leans forward. “If that’s what you want, baby. Your arousal fluid is the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted in my life.”
“Maddox,” I snort a laugh. “That sounds even worse.”
He smirks, eyes twinkling with amusement. I feel so joyous that we’re relaxed around each other again, laughing like we always have. “That’s technically what it is though. Or I could just call it your cum.”
“Or we could just eat lunch and not talk about it at all.”
He hums, pondering that suggestion. “I guess I can live with that. For now.” He leans even closer, biting down on his lush bottom lip. “But just so you know, I will be spending a lot of time in our immediate future making you come and then enjoying the fruits of my labors, baby.”
